History
Garmar Grimforge was once a sorceror of the Dark Iron Clan, a servant of Emperor Thaurissan. After the summoning of Ragnaros and subsequent enslavement the Dark Irons, Garmar attempted to restore some of his people's freedom by performing a ritual similar to Magni Bronzebeard's, to attune himself with the Firelands and become one with the elements to gain their wisdom and power.

The transformation was too powerful, and Garmar became a being in an eternal state of fire and pain, trapped within a shell of molten stone which thoroughly enslaved him to the will of Ragnaros. He became the unwilling smith for his Twilight-armies, to spend eternity forging their vile weapons and trinkets. Among them he crafted a Cursed Twilight-Ring, but also mustered the fortitude to craft a Stone-tablet describing his fate and location, hoping someone would one day come across it to end his curse.

Three hundred years later, the Party had found the Tablet and travelled into Blackrock Mountain, hoping the Elemental Smith could destroy the Cursed Ring and reforge an ancient relic for them, the Stonehammer.

The Elemental Smith agreed, but asked the party to lift his curse by defeating him in combat, warning them that the elements within his body would surely fight back.

After an extensive and exhausting battle, Garmar Grimforge was freed from his molten prison, becoming the Dwarf he once was for a few minutes as he lay on his deathbed with a hole in his heart after the fight. He humorously complained that he had longed to smell fresh air once again, "But typical me bloody luck to die in Blackrock Mountain with this shite air."

Thrundain offered him a handful of herbs from his homelands, to smell their scent before he died. The whiff of the flowers from the Hinterlands was the last thing Garmar experienced before he passed on.

Trivia

 * The Dwarven Blacksmith-Hammer which Egbert found in the Elemental Smith's forge was likely the same hammer he used in life, before his new molten-body allowed him to transform his fists into hammers.
